Exploring the Connection between Organizational Justice and Personnel Commitment among Teachers at the Postgraduate Level

Abstract

    This study investigates the connection between organizational justice and personnel commitment among postgraduate-level teachers. The study adopted a correlational research design. A random sample of 255 teachers was selected from eleven universities in Lahore, and data was gathered using a structured questionnaire comprising two sections. Data analysis involved statistical calculations, including means, percentages, and correlation analysis, with SPSS version 18.0 utilized for this purpose. The findings of the study revealed that organizational justice significantly influenced teachers' personnel commitment. Distributive justice emerged as the most significant predictor of personnel commitment, while procedural and interactional justice moderately predicted teachers' commitment. The study recommends that management should prioritize fairness in reward distribution, involve employees in decision-making processes, and maintain a respectful and dignified approach when communicating decision outcomes to staff. Consistency in rule application, accuracy in information usage, and the prevention of bias in employee-related matters are also advised for effective management.
